Dogs and All about Them

The
early
type
of
a
Pomeranian
was
that
of
a
dog
varying
from
10
lb.
or
12
lb.
weight
up
to
20
lb.
weight,
or
even
more,
and
some
few
of
about
12
lb.
and
over
are
still
to
be
met
with;
but
the
tendency
among
present-day
breeders
is
to
get
them
as
small
as
possible,
so
that
diminutive
specimens
weighing
less
than
5
lb.
are
now
quite
common,
and
always
fetch
higher
prices
than
the
heavier
ones.
The
dividing
weight,
as
arranged
some
ten
years
ago
by
the
Pomeranian
Club,
is
8
lb.,
and
the
Kennel
Club
has
recently
divided
the
breed
into
two
classes
of
Pomeranians
and
Pomeranians
Miniature.
As
a
rule
the
white
specimens
adhere
more
nearly
to
the
primitive
type,
and
are
generally
over
8
lb.
in
weight,
but
through
the
exertions
of
many
breeders,
several
are
now
to
be
seen
under
this
limit.
The
principal
breeders
of
this
colour
in
England
to-day
are
Miss
Hamilton
of
Rozelle,
Miss
Chell,
Miss
Lee-Roberts,
Mrs.
Pope,
and
Mrs.
Goodall-Copestake.
The
first
two
whites
to
become
full
champions
under
Kennel
Club
rules
were
Rob
of
Rozelle
and
Konig
of
Rozelle,
both
belonging
to
Miss
Hamilton
of
Rozelle.
More
black
Pomeranians
have
been
bred
in
England
than
of
any
other
colour,
and
during
the
last
fifteen
years
the
number
of
good
specimens
that
have
appeared
at
our
great
exhibitions
has
been
legion.
There
do
not
seem
to
be
so
many
really
good
ones
to-day
as
heretofore;
this
is
explained,
perhaps,
by
the
fact
that
other
colours
are
now
receiving
more
and
more
attention
from
breeders.
A
typical
small
black
of
to-day
is
Billie
Tee,
the
property
of
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Stanley
Mappin.
He
scales
only
5-1/2
lb.,
and
is
therefore,
as
to
size
and
weight
as
well
as
shape,
style,
and
smartness
of
action,
a
good
type
of
a
toy
Pomeranian.
He
was
bred
by
Mrs.
Cates,
and
is
the
winner
of
over
fifty
prizes
and
many
specials.
To
enumerate
all
the
first-class
blacks
during
the
last
thirty
years
would
be
impossible,
but
those
which
stand
out
first
and
foremost
have
been
Black
Boy,
King
Pippin,
Kaffir
Boy,
Bayswater
Swell,
Kensington
King,
Marland
King,
Black
Prince,
Hatcham
Nip,
Walkley
Queenie,
Viva,
Gateacre
Zulu,
Glympton
King
Edward,
and
Billie
Tee.
